2016.1 - SDK - Using SDK batchmode commands, and migration guide

Description

This Answer Record introduces the SDK Batchmode commands in Vivado 2016.1 that can be used for building and modifying eclipse aware SDK projects.

Solution

The SDK batchmode command set is listed below. The command list has been greatly improved upon from the command set available in the 2015.4 release.

In Vivado 2015.4, to create a usable script, users had to use both the SDK batch mode, and HSI API. However, in Vivado 2016.1, users should be able to just use the SDK batchmode commands to create their scripts.

The advantage of using the SDK batch mode over HSI is that projects created here are eclipse aware, meaning that the projects can be opened in the SDK GUI.

The table below can be used for porting existing scripts to 2016.1, or for starting a new script from scratch.

There are also a few use-cases provided for ease of use.

For more help on these commands, type "SDK batchmode" into the SDK 2016.1 help.
